ton and you cannot make us q con

subverting the British constitution,
without doing away with the sove-

out making Scotland, Ireland and

Prof. Smith advised his hearers TO
guard against the tone and tendency
of the Ameica n press, which, he said,
was not so impartial as the Liberal
press in Europe. He regarded the
outlook for the British nation as not
very bright. People begin to talk Of
terrible things, inasmuch as the Ell.
glish nation has Sudden unconsciously
into democracy without revising heI
constitution, and with no safeguards.
Political wisdom seems now at low

the English people can only be looked
to for tidiSg the ship OF state through

Temporary but HI Gotten Wealth
of u COIOred Boy.

Beecher Rsglsnd, a young colored
boy, was rrested by Capt. Hackett
y, sterday AFTERNOON accused OF
larceny. The crime laid at his door
was the theft of $3.50 from Mr.. Walker
E1muDds, secretary of the Milburn
Gin and Machine Company. Ragland
had been employed IS office boy in
the institution until about two weeks
ago, when he wa bounced for general
worthlessuess. Previous to that he
enjoyed the undivided confidence of
his employers, and had free access to
all the desks. Friday, while no n
wss about, he entered the secretary's
Office and nipped his pocketbook from
his coat pocket. Mr.. Etmunds re-
turned a few moments later and dis
covered the loss. He knew no one
around the works had entered the
office, and was unable to locate
the guilty party. Some one afterwards
told him Of Rsgland's visit, and he
began the investigation yesterday

att. Raglsnd was arrested and con-
fsssed, telling where about half the
meney went. He had bought q lot Of
underwear and q suit Of clothes, all Of
which was recovered. The remainder

PORTLAND, NE, April 30.-A senea-
tional suicide occurred on Green street
at 2 O'Clock this morning, the victim
being Miss Alice Cobb, aged "a years,
daughter Of Alvin Cobb. 1t Is stated
that for some time past the girl has

q" am not crazy, but my health
is broken. A dead Womsn's
curse on all who have wIonged
me. Father wants me to die; l
will do 80. But il my spirit can
come back, / will haunt him until he

fering. Father has driven me 10 this.

this LEADING QUESTION
70 BE BROUGHT FORWARD IN
THE NEXT HOUSE
Is the Tarif-The Standing Of the
Democratic Party Depends
Upon II

The Hon. s. 6. Cox has almost en-
tirely recovered his health, and in q
few weeks will leave his hotel and
take up his stay for q short time In the
suburbs. Later he and Mrs. Cox will
20 to New York for the summer. Mr..
Cox had q much narrower escape dur
ing this last attack that is generally
understood. HIS condition, indeed,
for two weeks was II the most preca-
rious character, and only the NEST
careful and skillful nursing could have
pulled him through. Thst, however,
he had, and, thanks to It, he promists
VOC to be vigorously himseli again.
With his restoration to health there is
renewal Of the talk OF Mr.. Cox for
chairman Of the Ways and Means
Committee of the mex Houee. The
tariff question is again to be brought
to the front, and there is no div ision in
the feeling hat this time the most cap
able and intelligent leadership must
prevail and action be, &c.
cured. Not only does the condition
of the country impsratively demand
it, but the Democratic parIy's ttand-
ing in next years campaign will be
vitality effected by tbs manner in
which the issue lie made, There must
be no half heartedness, no ~Bkulking,
no temporizing. A bill must be pr,-
pared, liberal in Its provisions, but
drawn on honest revenue lines, and
then 1t must be supported. The
Democratic leader who will talk to
you in this strain will then turn and
ok you to name q better man for the
task than the spirited and exL Q fenced
member from New York, who is a.
ready in debate as he is wife in coun-
Gil, and who for years has made
revenue matters the subject Of his
closest and most comprehensive In
quiry. No name is ,ver suggested but
tnat of Mr.. Carlisle. The warmtsu ad-
mirer of Mr.. Cox will concede that il
the Kentucky statesman would con-
sent to take the leadership on the
floor the party's prospects in the
Dext House would be bright indeed.
There would be the fullest assurance
OF success in any line he might indi-
cate, and both the administration and
the country at large would yield him
a cordial support, buts 1t is understood
that Mr.. Carlisle desires a third term
as Speaker, and desiring 1t will secure
it. He is, therefore, not properly to
be considered in any other connection,
and MI. Cox's friends have still their
claim undioputed that their favorite
possesses superior qualifications for
cutting out and dire citing important
work at hand. Mr., Carlisle, WIN will
STRIVE here about the middle of next
menth, will find Mr.. Cox still in town,
and the meeting between the two
gentlemen ought not to be, and prob
ably will not be, without lie potent
development.

A MOMESTOUS MOVEMENT.
GEN. PETER TRACY HUsTLINa
AROUND ron
Judicial Iu~terference BetWeeR Pres
ident Hadden's Police and the
Beloved foboggan-Eurekai

The tall and compact form OF Gen.
Peter Tracy was seen hustling about
the city yesterday. He was in Q hurry,
aud that portended to friends and &C.
quaintances that he was in distress. II
isn't often that the general finds him
self in such a condition, but when it
ssises upon him there is shortness OF
breath, stsmmering of speech, ner-
vousness OF manner, and general
decentralization. The care in point
was a serious attack, with dangerous
symptoms. The prime cause Of this
st ate of affairs was the folio wing pro-
nunciamento, promulgated from the
throne Of the lord of this realm, in an
upper chamber adjoining the Station
House: II notice in a morning paper
that the President of the Taxing Dis-
trict will have q policeman posted at
the Toboggan to protect the crowd. l
won't do anything OF the kind, but
I'll send three policemen to prevent
that machine from running on Sun
day. Toe law now in force gives us
Jurisdiction for one mile beyond the
limits, and we don't propose to allow
anything in the suburbs that we won't
allow 10 the city,"
II ID not very often the case that
Gen. Tracy reads OF smiles over any
thing coming from the Tycoon-in
fact, he considers his sayings quite
commonplace. In glancing over the
courts proceedingslyesterda however,
his eye fell upon the word ~"toboggsn."
With fear and trembling he read each
succeeding sentence, for the whole
business struck him all in a heap and
in a very tender spot. The intent
became clear, and his duty in the
premises clearer. Thers must be de-
cided action, and that without any
delay or monkey business. II was
Saturday nooo, most OF the couris had
cleared for the races, and the morrow's
sun would rise upon hopes blasted and
scattered to the four winds. Happily
one avenue for escape remained, and
this was the object 30 eagerly
ssirmished for by the worried pro-
prietor of the Toboggsn. Straight say
he hurried to the law Office of Messrs.
Taylor & Carroll aud had papers drawn
up for an injunction. They vera
shortly afterwsrd submitted to Judge
Julius j. DUB ose, of the Criminal
Court, who ordered the Clerk and
Master Of the Chancery Court to grant
the relief prayed for. At 4:l5 O'Clock
pm. a barrier to police interference
mad been erected, and the ToboggaH
will begin business a. advertised this
ate. noon.
